Also good for Win 2000
FYIQ:Do I have to buy this program?
A: Definitely not !! This is Freeware!
Q: Causes using this program any instabilities of my system?
A:I don't think so. I modify the registrykeys, as they are set when you do this manually. And you can even reset them if you're unsure about it.
Q: Does this program contain trojans or viruses?
A: Nope!
Q:I don't know the meaning of those settings. Which shall I choose, which not?
A: You don't have to care, during the startup of the program the recommended settings are set. These are the ones that I use on my machine, too. You only have to decide whether to keep the MS Messenger or not. If you wanna know more about the settings, do a search on the internet. I plan to make a linklist with some interesting sources.
Q: Who programmed this tool?
A: Me, I'm a student of computerscience and enjoy coding. My intention to program is to make stupid and boring things easier.
Q: Why should I use this program?
A: MS has integrated some tools and services into the system, that automatically can connect to the internet without noticing you about it. Nobody knows what's possible to transfer from your computer to the connected servers via these services. So if you want to stop these services, you can do this manually and take a walk through XP, or you use my tool which does the same thing, except it saves you time.
Q: Where'd you got those information about these tools and services, that can automatically connect to the internet?
A: Well, as an enthusiastic Web-Surfer I collected this information from all over the internet, especially thanks must go out to the CosmoConnor-Userboard .
Q: Can I avoid the 'Windows Product Activation' by using this program?
A: Nope.
Q: Do I have to start the program every time windows starts?
A: No, but it's no problem if you start it from time to time, to see if all the settings are still in the state of your choice.
Q: What happens if I install any ServicePacks for WindowsXP?
A: I don't know. The worst thing I think, is that some of the settings are reset.
Q: If I ran the program, do I need a firewall any longer?
A: Yes you do! Think of all the other programs or built in functions that can connect to the internet. In my opinion it's mandatory to use a firewall and an up to date virusscan software.
Q: Does the program work also on Win95/98/Me?
A: No.
Q: Which RegistryKeys are modified?
A: I'm in the progress of bringing all the changes to a viewable format.
Q: Who taught you such an 'excellent' english
A: I watched nearly all episodes of Futurama and the Simpsons in its original language
